Advantages of a tankless water heater

Unlimited Hot Water

Since they heat water as it’s needed in the home, tankless systems can supply an unlimited amount of hot water in the morning. Instead of holding hot water in a tank, tankless systems run water past heaters when you turn the faucet. If you have a family, this means that everyone gets to shower without running out of hot water.

Energy-Efficiency

Tankless water heaters are more energy efficient than standard water heaters. With a new tankless system, you can expect savings on your monthly energy bills for years to come. Add those savings up over 20 years, and you’ll see why tankless water heaters are increasingly popular.

Longer Lifespan

On average, standard water heaters last about a decade or so. In contrast, tankless water heaters can operate efficiently for two decades or more. This means that the higher upfront cost of a tankless water heater needs to be weighed against your energy savings and the fact that you’d be buying two standard systems in that same time.

Is it time to replace your old water heater?

If your furnace is more than ten years old, it might be time to start thinking about replacing the system. However, even an aging furnace might need to be replaced earlier than that if you’ve been seeing higher energy bills or a weakened hot water supply.

If you suspect it might be time to upgrade to a new water heater, give Southern a call. One of our experienced plumbers can come to your home and inspect your current system, and provide you with some estimates for new systems—including tankless water heaters.

How can tankless water heaters provide limitless hot water?

Standard water heaters heat a selected amount of water in the tank, and then distribute that water to your home as needed. In contrast, tankless water heaters push water through heating coils, heating it as needed for the home. This means that they don’t have a set amount of hot water to “run out” of.

What do tankless water heaters look like?

Tankless water heaters come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Unlike a typical water heater, they don’t need to reserve space on the system for a tank to hold water in. For this reason, most are wall-mounted in the garage or another part of the home. This saves you on space, which is another advantage of these systems.

Aren’t tankless water heaters more expensive?

Yes. Tankless water heaters do cost more upfront. However, consider this: not only will you save money every month on your energy bills, but tankless systems also last longer—in some cases, twice as long, as standard water heaters. This means more value for your money. Finally, a tankless water heater might raise your home’s value and entice buyers, if you’re looking to sell your home either now or in the future.

How much will a tankless water heater actually save me?

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a tankless water heater will save a family of four about $100 per year. Over the course of 20 years, that’s $2,000—and about the price difference between a tankless water heater and a standard water heater. However, you also have to account for the fact you might have to buy two standard units in the time you purchased one.
